December flew by, and suddenly the holidays are here! Our classroom has been full of excitement as we enjoyed many fun holiday activities, including holiday breakfasts, festive art projects, and lots of practicing for our winter concert. The students have been working hard and showing great enthusiasm during this busy time.
In Math, we wrapped up our work with multiplication and have begun learning about division. Students are practicing sharing and grouping strategies to help build their understanding.
In Social Studies, we continued learning about the early explorers of North America, exploring who they were, where they travelled, and why their journeys were important. In Science, we are just starting our new unit on properties of and changes in substances. We will dive deeper into this unit in the new year through hands-on experiments and investigations.
In ELA, students are finishing up their independent novel studies. Their final reports will combine a variety of activities into one culminating project that showcases their understanding of the novel they read. Please remember to encourage your child to continue reading at home and to complete their reading logs regularly.
